Last year, Jw bought an iPod Touch... We both had been coveting those damn iPhones for a while, but we're pretty much dead set against supporting AT&T (don't ask), and well, neither of us use our cell phones enough to merit the plan we'd have to sign up for anyway... so, long story short, we were pretty psyched when "an iPhone without the phone" came out...

So, I finally broke down and bought a Touch, too... and I just have to say ::

it.
is.
totally.
AWESOME.

I even had the back engraved with my new favorite quote (thanks, Laila!) - recognize that print?

I don't want to be too dramatic, but this little gadget might actually change my life... As you're probably getting an inkling, 2008 kinda kicked my ass all over the place. I've been struggling with managing the business (mostly the money side of things) and just feeling calm & relaxed, in general. For me, being organized is the key to being able to function properly on a day-to-day basis, so the plan is for this little computer to be my go-to-guy for keeping track of ideas, to-do lists, images, contacts, etc.

I've only had it for 1 day and I'm sold.

Now, I just have to get the perfect case to carry it around in! This Pink Pollock case from debris design (out of Asheville, NC) is stunning, but I think I'm gonna shop around.

Anyone have any good suggestions?... keep in mind that I'd prefer the case be handmade. (Of course! ;)
